@Villain Team

What do you think about the CIQ story posted on XDA? Is it something you want to implement into the Villain ROM?

Link provided: HERE
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Does that affect this rom? I'm not aware of ciq being present
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Nope, go to the forum section for the T-Mobile sgs2 as they are totally diffrent and none of the roms in here will work on it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OCmylife:
Does someone here in this thread have the Dark Miui theme offline and can upload this one to a Filehoster? That would be really nice. It was for VR 2.4.2. Tia
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lazy361:
Yeah... Thanks for the reply. Its just that our roms are so boring at this particular time. Thanks. Have fun
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
That's a long shot. I don't think many people are running 2.4.2 still lol

I`m so sorry. Ive searched on my Android partition and I`m really suprised that I had it myself :(

So now porting can start :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mccune:
I used the tool made by TrevE to check my device. It does not show any detections of CIQ. So I think we're safe.. ..for now ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yup AFAIK the UK one doesn't have it. As I'd have noticed it :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mccune:
If you say so Pulser. I will remove my aluminum hat and let people continue to talk on-topic now.

To my knowledge, no Exynos-based GSIIs have CIQ... yet... SGH-I777 (AT&T GS2) will likely be the first.

Also, CIQ tends to be more of a North Americanism that usually only affects users in the USA and Canada - I haven't heard of any devices outside of the US/Canada affected. CIQ would probably run afoul of European privacy laws anyway.

Hi Pulsar_g2

There is news about 2.3.6 available. Is this something that you will consider developing into a new rom ?

http://www.galaxys2forums.com/samsu...kyrocket-update-to-android-2-3-6-pushing-now/

http://androidadvices.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-steps-install-zckj1-gingerbread-236-firmware/3/

link from android advices .... download 2.3.6 here

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't recall much relevant gain for us. 2.3.6 was a security update for particular older gpus mainly, iirc.

Might be worth keeping an eye on though :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
Isn't that a Chinese firmware which doesn't work on the international sgs2?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
The ****rocket release is 100% useless on an Exynos. The ****rocket has no business carrying the Galaxy S II name - it isn't really a GS2.

The only reason the ****rocket got 2.3.6 is because their original firmware release was so ****ty that it was actually better to push out a 2.3.6 release as fast as possible. 2.3.6 is "leak-only" in almost all other cases.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lulz. Thanks for confirming.

I am aware ****rocket doesn't deserve the name :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
A couple of days ago, I asked why people want and demand that this rom be update and in that time I didn't understand why.

Now I understand: because the new themes or new versions of old themes didn't offer suport for the KI3 firmware and the new versions offers new opportunities and people wants it so... that's why.

I think that many of the XDA users look not at all an realy good/bug free rom as an beautifull (everyone's taste) theme.

Sad but true. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Reading this post made my head hurt, luckily I did understand it on a kindergarten level. Dude, your grammar is appalling.

This ROM has always been strictly about stability and not counting from 1 to 10. So think of it this way, if number 7 turns out to be the best you've ever used. What's the point continuing to count, specially if the following versions will not give you any more advantages?

Nowadays, the SGS2 users have split into 3 or more groups. The ones that I can notice are:

*Ones that like to be safe and keep to stock ROMs only.

*Those that need to have the latest firmware version number regardless if there's no added improvements.

*And thirdly those who like to find a stable combination and happily stick to it without itching to climb more numbers.

I'm sure that might sound weird to try to summarise the noticeable types of SGS2 users. Just felt like writing down my observation.

Definitely makes sense to me. :p

That's because english is not my native language and sometimes I have like all of us, a bad day and poor inspiration and also I'm after a very hard and exhausting day at office.

Sorry... :(

But I'm glad that you catch the point of my post.

LE:

I think that as you already said, there is another big group of users.

Those that want themes more that roms.

And I give you an example: today two guys from XDA told me that they loves the Villainrom but they will go to another rom because the JKay's last version 13.1 is only for KJ3 and KI8 and they wants the 13.1 on their phones.

And like this guys are many others.

That's what I tryed to say in my first post. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Girn:
really how so? Sure the enxyos is a tad bit better but both bench mark the same..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] KaliKot:
Nope. Its inferior. What makes the sgs2 an sgs2 is the exynos. Go to youtube and look at he sideby side comparisons. Benchmarks mean nothing. Real life performance is the best indicator.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Exynos is in a different league of performance... At a low level, compare the cpu datasheets and you should see :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Girn:
Eh whatever I'm happy with my skyrocket and I doubt the difference.is that big. Mine is oc'd and runs nice and smooth
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Can u post a cf bench score? im curious on the difference
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Girn:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
im guessing your o/c to 1.8?

i got 14264 4031 8124 o/c to 1.6 on hyperdroid rom, so there doesn't appear to be much difference but tbh i have no idea what these figures mean lol :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Girn:

What are your experiences with the latest speedmod, siyah kernel and stock VR kernel?

I've been on the stock one since forever and been itching to try the others :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I was on Ninphetamine 2.0.5 for ages but got bored lol. Siyah is the one I'm on now and definitely getting better battery life. :D

Speedmod gave me freezes and reboots.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chris2busy:
really..no kernel/modem will make a huge difference in battery life.our phone is incredibly smooth,super user friendly,gorgeous to use its screen, amaxingly handy with usb otg and no matter what the batt life is at best laughable.4 hours screen on time is NOTHING..oh well,nothing is perfect , right?im sticking with it despite the battery vortex drainage it brings along.and so far vr has delivered the max out of it!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Like geko I was on ninph since the beginning and got bored so decided to test and have found Siyah 2.2 (beta 15) is really good. Battery life has never been an issue for me as charge every night so couldn't care a less if I was at 80% or 1% by the end of the day as will go straight on charge when I go to bed. I'm yet to upgrade to the release of 2.2 but battery life is even better than what ninph's gave me, hours of music listening just seems to do nothing dropping only a few %. I'm going to give it a proper test now as off for at least a 30 mile cycle so will have music and gps tracking on which on ninph took quite a lot of battery so will be a good comparison.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] troffers:
@chris2busy

You should seriously give Siyah or Speedmod a try. I'm on Siyah now, UV'd, and I'm averaging 5 hours screen on time with approx 2 days usage.

They can make a big difference in battery efficiency and my phone is still smooth as butter

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Well I was out for just over 3 hours with GPS using Endomondo Pro and music on which used 36% battery which is about the same as what I had with Ninph 2.0.5. Seems the benefits of Siyah's is only with little use or just music. One problem I did have is constant breaking up of sound so am going to try the release version and hope that's fixed as never had that issue before.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Thanks for the input guys, definitely gonna be trying siyah's kernel. I've been on hyperdroid for three weeks now and going back to my old VR.

Flashing updates are getting tiring :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
To benchmark the same, the ****rocket's Crapdragon has to be clocked 300 MHz higher than the GS2's Exynos. Higher clock speed for same performance = more power consumption for the same performance. (Look at the Pentium 4 as a classic example of this.)

Also the ****rocket's GPU is inferior.

Last but not least, these are smartphones. Data access is what they're all about. The ****rocket's data capabilities just plain didn't work - they were insanely fast if you actually had a connection in an LTE area, but you frequently had no connection. (This last issue is why the ****rocket had its update rushed out the door so fast.)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chamillikawi:

Can anyone post up some screenshots please?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:

It's a stock ROM without any theme overlayed on it.

Hello VillainRom users..

Im using Lite'ning rom 6.1 now based on KH3..

My question is, if i install VillainRom 3.0, do i have to install stock base rom first which is KI3, right? i didnt read any specific instruction on this regard or i can flash this without a base rom? Thank you so much for ur support..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
+uc&uv simply means that I have underclocked and undervolted the cpu.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium quality neurotransmitter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
No you don't have to do that. You will need to do a full wipe in recovery first before flashing villainrom though.

Just follow instructions on the first page carefully and you should be fine. :)

Ok Bro so I don't need to install a stock KI3 rom prior this villainrom 3.0 even though lite'ning rom is based on KH3.. Sorry for asking this one couse its my first time to flash a custom rom without flashing stock base rom first.. Just say YES if im correct and im good to go..

What have I done wrong? Just put V3.0 on my phone which I believe came with n2.0.5

n2.0.5 made my wifi cut in and out and lose phone signal for whatever reason, so I flashed KI3 onto my phone, but now wifi doesn't work.

It finds my router but doesn't obtain the IP address or something.

Have I flashed the wrong thing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
check above and see on Geks signature he has a link for the kernel that he is using. Try that and see if the wifi works.:) as i think Ninp 2.0.5 uses the old update kernel source. which now most of the kernels if not all are on update3
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] globalgpj:
Got a quick link :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
Thanks. After downloading that I seen in the folder I did do the wrong thing.

I flashed a kernel instead of the modem :o

KI3 modem is working great now.

We live and we learn!!

Thanks very much for the quick reply though.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Great that you fixed it but i still would flash the kernel as well as you will be up to date..Birdman would say the same thing:)

Anyway either way glad you fixed it mate
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:

Just a small contribution to the Villain ROM thread...

I've added ICS animation to the framework-res.apk as instructed in THIS thread.

If people want to use it just push the file to your framework folder (/system/framework/), or use a program like Root Explorer.

Been using it for a few hours now and haven't noticed any problems. Only thing I've noticed is that I had to add my GMail-account again after reboot. ( Do I need to tell you to do a nandroid before proceeding anyway? )

One small note:

I don't use the default battery indicator!

See the attachment for the battery indicator (percentage) I use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, if you change frameworks, you will need to redo your logins. That's normal :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
Which? The kI3 kernal or the one in his sig?

The intermittent wifi and phone signal is back, do you think this would help it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
:D No buddy ki3 is the modem. For the kernel which he is using Siyah you can find it in the original dev section.:) its really good.. you always see the DJ Pingu flying all over the threads trolling and spamming saying how good it is.:D but seriously though seems good so why not give it a try
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
Ha, thanks.

I've done that now. I'll see how it goes over the next day or two and post some feedback in that thread.

Thanks again for your help :)

I use void.echo myself but they are mostly the same feature wise.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Pulser, I'm trying to track down an issue I'm having and I am at this point stumped. Something keeps on clobbering the permissions for /data/misc/wifi and setting them to wifi.wifi 750, despite initramfs mkdiring them to wifi.system 0770.

Even if I add chown lines to the initramfs, or manually change permissions, at some point SOMETHING clobbers the /data/misc/wifi permissions back to wifi.wifi 750, and at this point, I can't find anything in the initramfs that would be responsible for this.

The end result is that wifi tethering settings are not persistent - if you change them, they don't stick because it is not possible to create /data/misc/wifi/softap.conf

I've even tried flashing Ninphetamine 2.0.5 as a test - same issue, so it seems to exist in your initramfs too.

Does the following work for you:

Enter tethering settings

Before enabling tethering, choose "Configure portable wifi hotspot"

Change the SSID to something other than the default

Save it

Enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot

Note that the SSID is the default

If you back out of portable hotspot settings and reenter, the SSID will be back to the default even for the "Configure" menu

You will see an error like this in logcat:

E/WifiService( 2677): Error writing hotspot configurationjava.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/misc/wifi/softap.conf (Permission denied)

Specifically, an ls -l in /data/misc will show:

drwxr-x--- 3 wifi wifi 4096 Nov 28 22:23 wifi

Even if initramfs sets it to something else.

If you run

adb shell chown wifi.system /data/misc/wifi
adb shell chmod 770 /data/misc/wifi

You will see the permissions change, but if you reboot, they return to the permissions above. If you set up an AP when the perms are set this way (Actually, /data/misc/wifi might need to be set to 777), softap.conf is successfully created and once created, it can be reconfigured without issues. However, this is frustrating to users.

Do you see this same behavior on I9100?

I9100 users have had this problem before - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301996
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm...

People have the issue. I can confirm sorting permissions will let it write to the file.

I am not sure why the permissions would change though... Very intriguing :p The fact it affects other kernels is strange...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BatTusAi:
So anyone having pink spot on the camera? please help how to fix this..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Entropy512:
Probably not... The question is, is that a leak or an official update?

Basing ROMs off of leaks is a Bad Idea unless there is a REALLY good thing within them.

Personally, I would stick with KI3 unless there's a good reason to change. Right now these are probably:

1) A newer firmware might solve the wifi tethering perms issue Pulser and I are discussing - will play with this tonight (XWKJ2 does not fix it.)

2) Periodic updates to maintain compatibility with themes/mods out there might be beneficial - Obviously updating every time jkay retargets is too much, but every 2-3 retargets might make sense (especially if jkay adds major new features.) Right now JKay only targets one release higher than VR3 (VR3 is XXKI3, Jkay is targeting XXKI4), so that isn't enough in my opinion to justify jumping.

I use Handcent but I cannot reproduce the problem you're having. Try pressing the menu button and selecting "End select" to see if that works.

If not, I suggest clearing the data and cache and trying again. This might clear your messages though because I haven't tested it. All else fails, reinstall

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] emilcioran99:
Hmmm...

Mate, seems that you don't understand.

When I asked Pulser that is something usefull in 2.3.6 (leaked or not) I don't asked for an update of the VillainRom.

I asked him because he is a good developer and he knows much more about this subject than many of us... and he can tell us that in this new firmware is something new and usefull or not.

In the other words... I like the VR 3.0, I'm happy with it and for now don't need an update.

The only update I'm waiting and I want now it's the VillainICSrom... :)
